Zambia: Surveys Indicate Geothermal Resource for a 10 MW Power Plant

Kalahari Energy says Geo-thermal power is sustainable, environmentally-friendly (postzambia.com)

Kalahari GeoEnergy Limited says the Bweengwa River geo-thermal resource area contains compelling evidence required for hosting a hydrothermal system.

In a press statement issued by Kalahari GeoEnergy chief executive officer, Peter Vivian-Neal, the ongoing assessment of the Kafue Trough target results confirm a geologic setting conducive for geo-thermal hydrothermal systems. He also noted that there was a strong probability of a medium-low enthalpy geo-thermal resource that could support a power generation project of at least 10 Megawatts.

“Results confirm a geologic setting conducive for geo-thermal hydrothermal systems and also give a strong probability of a medium-low enthalpy geo-thermal resource that can support a power generation project of at least 10 MW. Heat-in-place, power density and heat flow methods were used, providing a consistent estimated usable resource capacity in the range of 10-20 MW,” Vivian-Neal stated.
